October 2022 – January 2023
Côte d'Ivoire
EPE is an NGO under Ivorian law, created in 1995, which is currently active in the following areas: health (HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, RH), gender (women’s empowerment, GBV), education and nutrition.
In order to improve its performance and the efficiency of its management of the Global Fund project and the other projects it manages, the NGO conducted an organizational and functional diagnosis with the support of “L’Initiative” in April 2022.
This capacity building plan highlighted priority points related to governance, administrative and financial management, project management capacities, monitoring and evaluation, communication and capitalization, and gender that deserve special attention to enable EPE’s organizational development.
This technical assistance aims to improve the implementation of Global Fund and Expertise France grants (HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria) and to have a positive impact on EPE’s activities by strengthening its organizational and management capacities.
